Book Club: The Next Chapter

#MovieReview: #BookClubTheNextChapter 🍿 🍿 🍿 1/2 (Out of 5) Fun, Sentimental Romp Across Italy With A Group of Ladies And Their 50 Year Friendship #DianeKeaton, #JaneFonda, #CandiceBergen and #MarySteenburgen are back in what I would call a romantic comedy mixed with adventure and a big heart. Picking up after the first film and touching on the worldwide pandemic, the story takes the audience on a road trip due to Fonda's announcement of her engagement to #DonJohnson (Arthur) who is back as her courtship continues. It's basically a foreign Bachlorette party that fumbles, runs into a few bumps and even involves the international breaking of the law. Also back are both #AndyGarcía (as Mitchell - Keaton's beau) and #CraigTNelson (as Bruce, husband of Steenburgen) and they add more than one surprising and happy moments to the film. The film introduces American audiences to some wonderful Italian actors and their performances in this film like Giancarlo Giannini, Hugh Quarshie and Vincent Riotta. It's a quaint and somewhat predicable outcome of a film, but my enjoyment came from the wit, quips and humor these four ladies have with each other onscreen. It's downright fun to watch them. The scenic candy for the eye - of seeing Italy's Venice, Rome and Tuscany is more than a delight. All the pop music added to the score that is mixed with Italian version's really added spice to the energy of the motion picture itself. It's not quite a romp, has some slightly unbelievable things going on, but all four ladies will make you laugh, feel good and even tug those heart strings of yours once or twice at the end. A good fun, family film.

Absolutely hilarious , I loved having a movie focus on a novel. Each woman brought something to the table , amazing .

Fun film to watch with your girlfriends and dream about the next time you go to Italy.

meh; there's a few funny parts, but not nearly as good as the first. for some reason things just seemed more forced & over the top or something; i think you can skip this one.

It was good, but the first one was much funnier.

So much of what we want to do at the right time in our lifes at the right age, Amazing movie !!!

Funny movie, better than the first one.

Awesome, funny, feel-good movie! Jane is amazing! The cast is wonderful!

Its a silly comedy, but fun to see old favorites.

The scenery was beautiful and I could related to each character and how they viewed their lives.
